New Year Honour
Many people in Ridge and South Mimms will have had their clocks repaired by Mr. J.W. Davidson, or his son Stephen.
Some years ago Stephen was employed as Horological Conservator within the Royal Household, being responsible for all the clocks at Windsor Castle.
This year he has received the honour of MVO, Member of the Royal Victorian Order
in the New Year’s Honours List. We offer him our sincere congratulations.
